Anyone know where I can get a new Microsoft Natural Ergo Keyboard 4000 for under $37. Checked eBay, Google and Google shopping. Thanks!

Although.....if you could wait or search through the Black Friday deals now, you might have some luck. The last ones I bought came from Dell on Black Friday a few years ago and they were $19.99 each.
Thanks to both of you! (sm) - Rose

Newegg has them for $39 and free shipping.
Amazon had link to another company in UT selling new ones but opened box for 31.94 including shipping so I went with that.
I've used these keyboards over a decade and they are the best!
except the letters on the keyboard - wear off

very quickly.. I even tried nail polish, and that helped, but not much. been through three keyboards in less than a year.
ah, we don't need letters! - We are professionals! nm
Microsoft has discontinued these great keyboards and I need a new one. Anybody aware of a split keyboard that has a really nice touch (remember those old IBM keyboards?) for transcription work by Microsoft or another brand that you really like? I'm open for suggestions please ; 0 My only complaint with this one is the keys are a bit clunky to press down (especially the space bar).
Thanks! ...
Now that they apparently no longer make the Microsoft Natural ergo keyboard (the original one), I am my wits' end knowing what to do. My old one finally bit the dust. I have arthritis and really depended on that keyboard. Does anyone know of a good substitute? (It cannot be wireless.) Thanks so much in advance. ...
My spacebar died, bought one off e-Bay, that did not last very long either. They now say the Elite keyboards are "Vintage" charging over $100 for one new. Thanks ...
i have been using the Microsoft 4000 keyboard for quite a few years now and love the shape and features, but it doesn't seem to last more then 5 or 6 months, so when it starts acting up I just order a new one off Amazon and keep the replacement close by until the old one dies. When looking tonight for my next replacement, I spotted the Logitech wave combo mk550 wireless with a wireless mouse. The keyboard is just a little different but the wireless part appeals to me. I wo ...
Getting ready to buy a new keyboard and trying to decide between these 2 models.
Has anyone used both and can compare them? Does the CC 3000 really provide relief for the wrists? I've heard good things about the 4000 but it looks so...LARGE, lol!
Any input appreciated before I click the "buy it now" feature! ...
Has anyone found a good replacement for their Microsoft Natural Elite keyboard? I'm trying to find something with the same, or very similar, keypad layout. I have a Kinesis Freestyle and just cannot get used to the placement. Very frustrating. I then bought a Microsoft Ergo 4000 and found out afterward many people (myself included) are complaining about a design flaw with the spacebar. An Amazon seller has a Natural Elite for $189, a bit out of my price range right now. So, if anyone has an ...
Well I just spent a load of $ on a fancy-schmancy ergonomic Goldtouch keyboard, and I like the layout, EXCEPT that after a month, the keys are hard and gluey-feeling. It was supposed to have a very "light touch." The space bar on the right side sticks constantly and I have to hit it so hard with my thumb, my hand is starting to hurt. What is your favorite ergonomic keyboard? I still remember a wonderful soft springy Compaq keyboard that I loved, until my coworker worked at my desk one ...
I am currently using a Microsoft Natural 7000 keyboard. The space bar is getting more and more difficult to press (sticking), so I am looking to purchase a new one. I would prefer something where the keys type a little quieter and also one that is a lighter color (not black). Does anyone have any recommendations that are not extremely high priced? Thanks! ...
Hi Everyone,
Let me introduce myself, my name is Danna Rayton and I am a disabled veteran. I am currently a student at Kaplan University Online for Medical Transcription. I am writing you all due to a blog I read about a person wanting more information for her friend with spina bifida. I know with having a foot injury from the military I will be have a hard time using the foot pedal myself. TranscriptionGear has a software program that will allow me to program hot keys an ...
really miss that keyboard, I can't remember its name but they quit making it about 5-6 years ago. Does ayone know of a comparable one? Where you barely touch the keys and there is no click?
...
I have been a transcriptionist for quite some time and have used the Microsoft Elite Ergonomic Keyboard and have tried two new replacements but for some reason with the newer version of this brand the keys are really hard to touch. Has anyone used a split keyboard such as the Kinesis or Gold Touch? I am looking at spending more on something that is of better quality and soft touch on the keys due to shoulder problems. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! ...
I'm switching up my office stuff and i'm thinking about getting an ergonomic keyboard. I have been typing on a laptop and every once in a while my hands cramp up. I was just wondering if anyone had a learning curve with the ergo keyboard and if it slowed down their production at all. Thanks! :) ...
Hello - My knees are a bit sensitive and I'm wondering if anyone out there who also has sensitive knees has ever tried one of these kneeling office chairs. They're supposed to be quite good for the back and posture, though as I said, I'm a wee concerned about the knees.
Anyone? Thanks so much in advance. ...
I am looking for an ergonimic chair/saddle stool with a back or arms to buy. They are very pricey new, but I thought to see if anyone has one that just did not work out for them here. If you have one and can send me pictures and my basic deal is I am very short and need one that the seat will adjust pretty low/ ie in the neighborhood of 16 inch height I would like to hear from you. Thanks ...
Word through the grapevine is that our hospital is going to outsource to this company does anyone have any information on them. Apparently the company offers jobs to those of us working for the hospital. I know...it will probably suck. ...
Does anyone other than me think that something is funny with this schedule source? I think some how it not counting times correctly. Anyone else have a problem with this? ...
I know how to find my PTO balance; but, how do you find out what it was at different dates previously, or if you even can. My PTO balance hasn't changed in over a month.
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

How do I correct an incorrect logoff time in schedule source (cable was down for 2 hours). I've searched MQCentral but only got a blank page under "policies."
I've gone to timesheet, clicked on clock, highlighted the incorrect time, red-flagged it, but I don't know how to change the incorrect time. Maybe I should just leave a note in the box and CCM will fix it?
Thanks guys!

Anyone ever heard of this company? They emailed me with an offer for an IC position, and I have no idea where they got my email. Just curious if anyone works for them or knows anything about them. ...
*great ideas* ever actually turn out to be something BETTER? They always hype their BS up
and then it turns out to be a huge let down, waste of time, and nothing but a HUGE Pain the ARSE.
E-time sucked too, but this sucks EVEN MORE. They can't just leave bad enough alone.
And for the life of me I can't figure out where to see our PTO hours. That was easy in E-time. Can anyone tell me where to find this? I'd greatly appreciate it. ...
Anyone else getting an error when trying to access Schedule Source? At first it said they were updating and would be ready in about 90 seconds, but now getting an application error. ...
Does anybody know what the conflicts number means when putting in for a day off in Schedule Source? I've been sick for 2 days, logged it into days off section in Schedule Source, CCM approved my time out but it still shows as requested and not approved in Schedule Source. ...
Is ANYONE else having problems with SS/TW not showing the windows on left side of screen to go in and look at timesheets, collaboration or swap board. Whenever I go in to clock the first time for the day, then it is there, then when I go to clock out I have a blank white screen to the left. It does not matter what I do, even shutting down my puter and going back in. It is taking my clock ins and outs, but if I wanted to use anything else on SS I cannot!!!! This is i ...
